Kick Mod Help.

I recently started seeking support from the Australian GameArena community about kick mods. Basically, I suggested installing some mods that will kick AFKs in the ready room, after a certain time of peroid - say about 10 minutes.
Now, the bosses and some other officials said that they didn't like 3rd party proggies because of the performance reduction.
I would counter them with some other crap, but i would've probably ended up getting owned. But here's the laydown. GameArena servers for Natural Selection may have had a memory upgrade, so it would provide better performance for the 3rd party mod.
Now, i'm seeking help from you guys, i need suggestions of these 'kicking mods', maybe a rating out of 10 for performance and user friendly. Just need something that won't leech performance and receive **** feedback due to poor porformance of the installed mods.

    Unless a AFK kicker is extremely badly written, so bad I cannot imagine how someone could write one so bad. They will not impact your server performance.

    I totally agree with Cheesy, I often find that people who do not actually run servers have no freakin' clue what affects performance and what doesn't. Just add it in and don't tell anyone, I bet they won't even know it's there until the first time someone gets kicked for being AFK.

    Tsunamii, mate, it's not soley the performance loss. It's the lack of support and instability that can be caused by those plugins as well as security issues, and a range of other things that can go wrong when you use sucky add-ins.

    Like Peteza and Vadakill said, it would have to be an incredibly badly written afk kicker to cause any problems. Security-wise, performance-wise, etc.

    I would really like that kick metamod, there are a lot of servers with 4 ppl idling in the rr, that doesnt allow others to play. 14 servers, with 4 rr idlers, 10 players = 5vs5, it suxXx

    But i really hate to get kicked when tournament mode is 1, specially in clan games, i remember that before there was a metamod that automatically kicked idlers every minute, but it also kicked them when the tournament mode was 1 and you were waiting the other clan members to get into a team <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It should be a complexer metamod
